There is more news in ALGenWeb lately.

Macon, Pike and Tallapoosa are the available counties.
The good news is Debra Crosby, who's been working with Sam for quite
awhile, has taken on the Clay County site.
Carolyn Golowka will temporarily work John's four counties, Bullock, Macon,
Pike and Tallapoosa and get them updated. She will not be taking over as
the permanent

We have a lot to be Thankful for this day.
God's been good to us. We may have lost a few in Death and some decide to move to another task.
One thing we do have is each other.
Keep God in your heart and LOVE your Family and Friends,
because they are all we have.
Many Blessings,

Hello,
I would like to use the Family Group Sheets recently put on the Franklin County Site. Does my site have to be with RootsWeb before I can use Mail Merge? I really don't know what that is or how it works. Can anyone explain?

I have just uploaded a new book to the Statewide page. Deb Haines bought an

Alvin Jones tried to adopt Saint Clair county several months ago,
but apparently mail merge wasn't working at the time, or the
al@usgenweb.org (or whatever) address was not working, because he
never heard from the SC, and then I adopted it in September.
I have contacted Alvin, and he is very enthusiastic about being the
CC for Saint Clair, so I have now turned the county over to him, and
his name is on the page.
If Talladega ever becomes available, I would still like to have it back.

Welcome to our group. I am the ALGenWeb Archives File Manger and Tombstone
Project Manager, among other things. Anything I can do to help, let me
know. As you probably know, the Archives it the place for transcriptions of
things you might find in a library or State Archives such as Bible records,
Census records, church records, books, wills, military records, Photos and
pictures, and so on. It even has its own search engine for folks to use.

You are very right Richard, it's very hard to see them leave the project. I
have worked with Sam for many years,
he actually taught me to create my first web page,, years ago!! We both have
a very dear love of Clay County which is why
he offered to let me take over and in Sam's tradition, I hope to keep it a
vital and interesting county site for researchers.
The new site is ready at http://www.rootsweb.com/~alclay and the link is
ready to be updated.
Thanks Richard!!
